Job Title Help?

02-05-2017, 12:47 PM

Hey, guys!

I've been working with a big band that is trying to get into more regular work than self-produced concerts, MPTF stuff, and so on. For whatever reason, I've been asked to come up with a job title for myself, and I haven't a clue what to suggest. Do you any you guys have any good ideas? Responsibilities include
- Coordinating technical requirements with clients and venues
- Communicating with prospective clients to share audio and video recordings of the band and press-quality images
- Preparing said audio, video, photos from raw materials provided to me
- Social media promotion
- Live sound reinforcement (provide equipment, setup, tear down, mix)
- Wash lighting

I suggested "pianist" but they want something better. I guess so they can tell prospective clients, "Talk to this guy, he is our XXX".

I used to do a ton of MPTF gigs in the 70's&80's. We used to call them "green sheet" gigs as we had to sign "the" green sheet (MPTF form).
Back to your question:

Production Manager Plain and simple.

The person who books your group (the Contractor) gets a call back from someone that is inquiring about booking your group; the potential client asks "what will you need as far as space, etc. is concerned"...

The contractor's answer should be: "contact our Production Manager at ......."
